This would be a valid argument if the actual artist was the primary benefactor of profits from recorded media sales. When the "artist" receives less than 10% (probably less than 5%) of the profits of record sales, who is the injured party?

Wouldn't Corel endorse their own version of Linux......(Corel-Linux a Debian based distro) over RedHat? Or are they going to focus their efforts on desktop apps?
"And many artists, from gold-record seller Ice T to unknown garage bands, are starting to voluntarily encode their music in MP3 for free distribution through sites such as MP3.com or to sell through digital music vendors such as EMusic and CDNow."
Artists now have an outlet that bypasses the record company, and the record companies are running scared. I love it! The record companies have been ripping off artists and fucking up radio with their play lists for long enough. Maybe their rein is over!
I lost a job over this kind of knee jerk reaction. As a desktop support person I was dealing with a particularly troublesome user with a long history of "probems". When I was done I commented to an admin that I needed a fully loaded semi-automatic assult rifle to do some venting (in jest of course). But given the prevailling climate (my twisted sense of humor, and poor timing) in less than an hour I was escorted off the property by security! With no explaination at all, just "you've got to go"! We can't use you any more........
don't file taxes This is the difficult one. It's possible to pay your taxes without filing, or getting any identifying numbers, but you have to plan it very carefully and avoid certain kinds of investments. You also have to read way too much income tax law and argue with people paying you a bit. Having photocopies of the chapter and verse of the law is very useful.
*********************************** I tried this and the state attached my wages for not filing, even though they owed me money!!! And beware the feds will keep any return not claimed within three years! I got a very expensive education via that loophole, if there is a way around either please quote state or fed regs that apply.
You take good care of that now, #1 - cause I'm too stupid to spend it wisely. #2 - cause I'm to lazy to write a check. #3 - cause I'm unable to balance a checkbook. #4 - cause I won't take time away from TV or MSN to pay my bills. #5 - cause I think its cool to webify everything.
OK everyone. Can I have your attention please? OK, I want everyone to form a circle. OK, now everyone join hands. Very good, now everyone think Beowulf. OH! Yes, very good. I think it's working.......
I was not aware Borland had GPL'ed Paradox! Don't waste your time bending someone elses code if you can't distribute it or use it commercially. Most all commercial/retail licenses prohibit any re-use or re-writing of code.
That to me seems like a genuine witch hunt, I can't see how someone sending/recieving e-mail can be construed as non-productive. Who sends porn via e-mail? Maybe some nasty jokes.....

No, they are hoping to gain something from this. Whether it's PR points, or they actually want to understand what ESR is talking about, I don't know.
MS is looking for information to formulate it's future strategy and position itself to be a player in Linux's future. I'll bet they tape the meeting and spend weeks analyzing the conversation looking for angles.

Secure CRT?
1. We admitted we had poor communication skills, and our flameage had become unmanagable.
2. We came to believe in a root with better communication skills.
3. We became willing to follow that roots path.
4. We made a fearless an moral inventory of our character defects.
5. We shared those defects with root and another Usenet luser.
6. We became willing to let root lart us for our flameage.
7. We became willing to make amends to those we flamed in the past.
8. We made amends to those we had flamed, except when to do so would cause more flameage.
9. We stayed close to root and strived for better communication skills
10. We continued to take personal inventory and when we had flamed we promptly selflarted.
11. We applied these principals in all aspects of life, and life was better.
12. Having been larted by root, We carried the anti-flame with us everywhere in order to help others communicate better.
